Thanks bro I just told them all that their life is way better than a 16th century peasant. They were stoked. Then four of them OD'd on fentanyl and fucking died.

    I answered the topic "has technology ever improved working hours, conditions, leisure time?" with examples of how it objectively has.

    Can you explain your reasoning otherwise; or are we just here to have an doomer circlejerk about the existence of poverty instead?

    You're missing my point entirely. I'm saying the world is a much better place because of technology, and OP is a fool for implying it hasn't improved anyone's lives.

    Here's infant mortality, another "happy" chart showing how technology vastly improves human lives! It's not all doom and gloom, life isn't as bad as the chronically online make out if you look at how bad it was!
